For the last nine years, we’ve brought the wonders of the universe to you. We’ve decided to move that content, along with the usual hosts Reid and Savannah, over to the @SciShow YouTube channel starting Friday 2/3. So we’ll keep making cool space videos in a new place! Thank you!

Earth’s crust is a jigsaw puzzle of tectonic plates, but it wasn’t always that way! A new hypothesis suggests that space rocks had a big impact on shaping land on Earth. https://t.co/kD5RWUSZQi

Aliens are here, they ask for the best song we’ve got or we die, what song do we give them?

Splashdown.

After traveling 1.4 million miles through space, orbiting the Moon, and collecting data that will prepare us to send astronauts on future #Artemis missions, the @NASA_Orion spacecraft is home.
